Yesterday morning I was at the letter box, waiting for my porn and nickers delivery. Well my jocks turned up; the porn didn’t, but my AMEX bill did and lo and behold I have been billed for the porn: $97.00……….. Ok so I bulk buy.
I spent the day speculating and finishing the tiling on the plunge pool….. and you ain’t heard the last of it because I have yet to grout the tiles, but for now I have a black jockstrap to wear under my paper over-alls. I am not photographing the over-alls as requested by some-one who is currently stalking me…. but I at least note that their taste is not to be faulted…. you have to imagine a diaphanous harem pants effect with what from the back looks like it has an internal steel superstructure. Yes you’ve got it: I look like I am wearing a Beijing olympic birdsnest stadium around my waist area, covered by a smog of paper pulpery.
I phoned my bespoke porn dealer and had a very interesting phone call with a Tammie (I don’t want to go into too much detail as some of you have already read the gob-smackingly revealing detail on my AO blog). But we had a loverly chat about Darwin weather.
Spleen vent time: my day was so quiet I have little to report … take my advice and flick to the video then shoot out to Starbucks for skinnychino with a half lemon twist.
I spent a little of the morning reading my local newspaper….The Sunshine Coast Daily humourously referred (or as they would say, refurred) to as the Sunshine Coast Doily, for several reasons I imagine: It’s size, the holes in its reporting and the only practical use it has would be as a doily in your kitty litter tray….. even then the cat may prefer to crap elsewhere. It is hard to imagine the god awfulness of this paper which claims to be the 2007 PANPA AUSTRALIAN NEWSPAPER OF THE YEAR, this award I imagine is one of those chi-chi backslapping, air kissing (moue,moue) awards given by your mum to her favorite daughter. But it is always good for a laugh. Yesterday it had a headline in which the word purchases was spelled as purches. Never-the-less it sails on unsinkable (quick grab that iceberg). No point in contacting the editor, he just uses his position to rubbish you in the next days ‘doily’, with a harangue about how ‘english is an evolving language’ it is a bit like saying salmonella doesn’t effect the flavour of food ….. I stupidly once wrote a letter to him (if indeed there is a ‘him’ behind the scenes at the printery ….. bit like the wizard in the Wizard of Oz is how I imagine the ‘news room’) and was flayed alive. They had printed a photograph of a dear old lady who had just achieved the ripe old age of 100, with a bold heading ‘CENTURION CELEBRATES’… which by my calculation would have made her at least 1800 years old…
It is a paper like toilet is a paper, always advertising its much vaunted ‘lift outs’ which are just advertising puffery and when removed from the newpaper itself makes it as transparent as disposable over-alls. Well I shan’t keep banging on about it otherwise I will write more words in todays blog than appeared, outside advertising, in todays edition.
In the other paper I take there was an interesting court report about a guy who had ruined his step daughter and daughters life, by forcing them to have sex with him…… His excuse? ‘he claimed he was possessed by a spirit called Wendy’. This I like even more than the Bart Simpson excuse. When caught with my pants off in future I’m going for the ‘Ethel made me do it’ …. ba boom tish!!!!
I had a wine delivery so I had to tuck in to see that it hadn’t been corked. MBH (my better half ) said ‘it’s screw top’….. so????, and I settled down to be terminally depressed by ‘the game’ : state of origin. oh dear the Maroons should be paraded through the street naked….. my street, three times daily, and forced to stand and be photographed nude outside my bedroom…… enough said!!!!!!
My stars said an appliance would leak. The only appliance that I detected a leak from was my own personal plumbing.
My very lucky colour was brown… hey what is it with all this drabness? ……
I slept well but kept having this nightmare that Queensland lost the football, or the will to live. But today? you ask, how is today going?….. well not too flash. I suffered a minor head injury (don’t worry, you are too kind, it didn’t alter my brains functioning) and as being a believer in ‘erbs I cut a tentacle off an aloe vera plant, skinned it, and smeared it on my forehead…. I live in fear of scars, even more fear than that of social ridicule. I went out to collect a box of decking screws and kept wondering why everyone kept staring at me just above the eyes, or worse looking as if they were going to flee. When I arrived home I found that the sun had set the aloe vera a fluorescent yellow, so I look like I had been crapped on by a low flying Mardi Gras; and a big one at that. I think I am losing the will to live.
